This file is not in any way intended to endorse commiting fraud, 
rather to show weaknesses in the cellular system that anyone
could exploit.

1.) American Roaming Network

This Wireline roaming network can be reached by dialing 0 on a 
phone with no service. It will first ask for the number you want
to call, then you can either chose 1 and make a collect call
through an automated system or you can bill to a calling card or
credit card. To use a calling card you just enter the card number;
for a credit card you first enter the card number, you can use
mastercard or american express, but not visa. Then you'll be
prompted for the expiration date, next it'll want the numeric part
of the billing address i.e. if the address is 476 main street you
enter 476. Then you have to enter the zip code of the mailing
address. If you try to use a card from outside the u.s. it wont
work because the system is set up to take zip codes in 5 digit
numeric format. You might be able to use a foreign card by talking
to a live operator. You can also bill the call to a third party by
pressing 0 instead of entering a credit or calling card number and
going through a live operator. You can set up the greeting on a
direct dial voicemail so it sounds like someones there to accept
the billing, it just has to say hello then wait a few seconds for
the operator to read their script then say yes they'll accept the
call. It may take a couple tries to get the timing right. You can
call 800, 888, and 877 numbers and bill it to a credit card but
not to a calling card, third party, or collect call.

2.) Cellular Express

This non-wireline roaming system call also be reached by dialing 
0 on a phone with no service. There are four options to chose
from for placing your call. Option one is for billing calls to a
calling card, it'll ask for the number your calling, then for the
calling card number. Option two lets you bill a call collect
through an automated system. Option three like ARN you can bill
the call to a mastercard or american express, but not to a visa.
You'll be prompted for the card number, then for the expiration
date, then finally the billing zip code. Option four allows the
call to be placed using a prepaid cellular debit account, I havent
been able to do anything with this option it asks for a ten digit
cellular number. Like ARN you can call toll free numbers and bill
it to a credit card but not to a calling card, nor can you bill
collect calls to toll free numbers. Cellular express doesn't allow
third party billing.

3.) Roaming

Thanks to our friends at the FCC cellular carriers have to honor 
roaming agreements subscribers have made with other providers.
By altering the mobile number and system id on a phone with no 
service you can trick the cellco into letting you place a few calls
before the system catches on. When they block you from making calls,
usally a fast busy signal, you can change your min and sid a few
times and make some more calls before they block you for good.

4.) Social Enginering

You can dial 611 and tell customer service your having trouble 
placing a call and ask them if they can try to place the call for
you, if your lucky you'll get an operator that would be more than
happy to try to place the call for you. It helps to have a real
customers name, address, mobile number, and social security number
incase they ask for it.

5.) Setting Up Accounts

Using someones name, address, phone number, and social security 
number you can call customer service and set up an account over the
phone with some cellular providers. You need someone with good
credit otherwise they'll want a deposit. Ask about different service
plans and act like your actually a real customer wanting service.
Make sure you get lots of off peak and weekend minutes so you dont
flag the account by making lots of calls that run up a huge bill 
fast,and be sure to get call waiting and three way calling, there
always usefull to have. When they ask for your employers name tell
them your self employed as a contractor or artist and give the home
phone number as the work number. After you give them the information
they'll tell you they have to run a credit check and they'll call you
back in like 15 minutes, tell them your out running errands and that
they can give you their number and you'll call them back, they
shouldn't have a problem with this. Or if you have a loop you can use
that. The account should last until the person who's information you 
used to set up the service gets the bill.

6.) Prepaid Cellular

With some service providers you can set up prepaid service over 
the phone and later add time to it using a credit card. The only bad
thing about this is you usally have to talk to a live operator to add
more time. If they ask for a social security number and you dont have
one just make one up, they only use it for security purposes when you
go to add time to your account so be sure you memorize it.

7.) Adding Accounts To Existing Service

You can call the providers customer service and tell them you 
want to add another phone to your service for another family member, but
the best way is if the service belongs to a buisness that already has
multiple accounts. All you need is the name, address, phone number,
mobile number, and social security number of someone with an account.
Follow the procedure in section 5 for handling the callback. The account
should last until the person or buisness gets their bill with the extra
account on it.
